Deetlef Engelbrecht

Hello...

My name is Deetlef and I am the owner of Twin Sables Safaris (Pty) Ltd (“Twin Sables”).  I have been a professional hunter for more than 30 years and I have dedicated a big part of my life to the art and science of hunting.

I was born and raised in Pretoria, South Africa,  and from a young age, I had an insatiable passion and deep respect for nature.  My first hunting trip was at the age of 12 and from thereon I learned about the various species and their behaviors.  

I obtained my Professional Hunter’s permit and Outfitter’s Permit in 1996 and 1997, respectively.  I conducted various hunts with foreigners and learned much about different ecosystems, hunting techniques, and firearm proficiency.  

In 1999 I was offered a position as Game Farm Manager by Anglo American Mining to manage two of their game farms in the Mogolokwena district in the province of Limpopo.  Besides managing the farms, I also acted as PH for numerous Anglo-American personnel and their sons during the winter hunting months.  In 2008 the responsibility and training of the anti-poaching team were also added to his portfolio. This allowed me to extend my knowledge beyond hunting, encompassing conservation efforts, wildlife management, and ethical hunting practices. 

It was not until 2017 that I established my lifelong dream as an Outfitter and introduced the experience of hunting in Africa to foreigners.

I am an experienced hunter specializing in plains and dangerous game hunting.  I have guided many novice hunters, young and old, to taking the perfect first shot and turning it into one of the most memorable experiences of their lives.  Besides the skill of hunting, it is also important for me to share my knowledge, emphasizing the importance of ethical hunting practices, safety, and conservation ethics.  It is also important to foster a harmonious relationship between humans and wildlife, recognizing the vital role hunting plays in maintaining healthy ecosystems and preserving cultural heritage.

I consider myself calm and patient and aspire to give clients an extraordinary hunting adventure.  I believe I am a skillful hunter who will go to great lengths to ensure clients walk away with that much sought-after trophy, a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and a treasure of memories.

I look forward to sharing an adventure of a lifetime with you!
